This book, in my opinion, is a very good example of a serial killer, and his ironic demise. The book begins with an example of serial killing, where a powerful, influential man is killed by an assassin. The book, after the killing, follows the killer to an unusual place-a concert hall. There it is found that the killer is internationally famous concert pianist John Mikali. This man, Mikali, has been tormented by death and pain all of his life. His family has been based through a stout naval history, as his father, and relatives past have all been commanders and captains of great naval ships. The one break in the chain was his Grandfather and him, John, who is a concert pianist. John is clever but physcotic, because his hobby, as gruesome as it may seem, is killing. It began one day when his nanny was killed. It seemed she was killed by a hit and run driver. John, who loved his nanny so much, decided to get revenge, and revenge he did. He killed the man who had been driving the car. The book starts out, as said, with a killing and then by revealing the killer. Then the book goes into a story of the life of the man Mikali. His mother and father had been killed at sea, and the only people he had left were his nanny and his aunt. The book gives an accurate description of his life and times before his incredible hobby. After the book describes Mikali’s background, which itself is filled with death, the book goes into the current life of Mikali and how he got to where he is. Mikali discovered his great talent in music at a very early age. His grand-father, who is the only blood relative he has left, is committed to his grand-son. He gives his son the best schooling in the form of music he loves the most: the Piano. The book after it has dealt with the past then goes into the present. Using this method, it resembles a time line: MIKALI’S DEEP PAST——–RECENT PAST———PRESENT TIME After the recent past, in which Mikali has killed over 30 well known and influential people all around the globe. He uses his influential piano connections to travel all around the globe. He then makes the fatal mistake someone else did to him by doing it to someone else, with even more power than him. Mikali’s most loved relative was killed by a hit and run driver-and then one day Mikali kills the daughter of a retired SAS Soldier, Asa Morgan. Morgan is a trained

and skilled killer himself. It is ironic in the fact that after Morgan’s daughter is killed, he goes on a rampage, like Mikali after his aunt is killed. Mikali took out his rage on the entire globe-and Morgan took ut out on Mikali and everyone associated with him. Morgan, after learning his daughter is dead, throws all rules of the military system out the window and goes after Mikali. Although Morgan doesn’t know who killed his daughter, he does know that the initial murder at the beginning of the book is related to his own daughter’s murder. Mikali has gained a world- wide reputation as a brilliant pianist-and his alter ego as a fearless and skilled killer. Revenge plays its part in this book, after Mikali having taken his out on the whole world, and Morgan wanting to get his daughter back. Morgan, after tracking down Mikali through skilful deduction, (he examines all the murders and pieces together that Mikali was in the city giving some kind of musical performance) kills Mikali in the only place that can be deemed fit to kill Mikali in-A music hall. The book is very real in the aspect of serial killers. It portrays an excellent example of a person who kills in succession with an intricate plan. The killer, Mikali, kills all of his victims simply and with a plan. Also, Mikali kills many people. That’s a common trait with serial killers. As with Charles Manson, Mikali killed his victims without remorse or pity. He wiped them clear off the face of the earth without a second thought because he thought it would have an affect on the earth. Mikali’s plan was that if someone did something bad to him, then they should be dead. Mikali killed a man who had been leading the group who financed a political uprising in his native Greece. And he also killed a man because he thought the man was bad to the human race. The real clue that undid Mikali was one of when he killed a man, he made the mistake of killing him when he was in the same building as Mikali. Mikali had been staying in a hotel with the same man, and he killed him-and the police were baffled because no trace of the killer had been found. Using this, Asa Morgan carefully deducted that Mikali was responsible for his daughter’s death. Mikali’s killing is likened to Manson’s in the fact that it was just one piece in a huge master plan-Manson’s for a new earth while Mikali’s just one piece in a huge puzzle of revenge. ??
